From conversations with my far more conservative relatives, I just don’t see there being any political will for the type of lockdowns we saw in 2020 if whatever this epizootic in China turns out to be another pandemic. It apparently affects children as a type of walking pneumonia so unless, lulz, we’re fucked, folks.
Millions of young children could be totally knocked out, our health care infrastructure could collapse and conservatives would STILL be re-litigating the excesses of 2020. So, there you go, we just wait and see now. It could be that this is not at all what we think it is — it’s not another pandemic — and, as such, we just cruise towards a Tyrant Trump military dictatorship in early 2025.
If it is something to worry about, we’ll know one way or another around Christmas. That would give this new potential pandemic time to reach the US after some incubation.
